Many have protested the Bush Administration's distortion of government, from ousting those who are disloyal enough to ask questions to suppressing reports that don't provide ammunition for the chosen policy line (see some recent wailings here). Tom Engelhardt suggests a memorial wall to those who have resigned in principled protest or been driven out for trying to do their jobs. It's an impressive/depressing collection of expertise and dedication thrown away in the name of ideology. When will their cries be heard? sigh.
